Author Description

What happens when the life you knew is suddenly taken away? For years, Paul was an active Church of England vicar, dedicated to his family, his congregation, and his community. Then, Long COVID changed everything. From navigating the debilitating exhaustion and relentless symptoms to facing a world that often refuses to understand, this raw and honest account takes readers inside the daily realities of living with an invisible, life-altering condition. Told with courage, wit, and unflinching honesty, Living with Long COVID explores the emotional, physical, and financial toll of chronic illness, the frustration of seeking medical recognition, and the unexpected moments of hope that emerge along the way. More than just a personal story, this book is a voice for the millions still fighting to be heard-a testament to resilience, adaptation, and the power of finding meaning in a life forever changed. This book is split into short, individual reflections so that the reader can dip in and out easily. For anyone struggling with chronic illness, for carers, for those who want to understand, this is a must-read.
